I was trying to look through code commits over the last month to see what all I’ve done. I apologize if I’m double posting any of these, but I wanted to give everyone a quick update because a lot has changed in just a month.
New Features
A brand-new Lists system, essentially the biggest feature in the period:
- Create public, private, or community lists of games
- Community lists: other users can add games and vote on them
- Ordered lists: manually drag-and-drop ordering with number badges on box art
- Convert shelf to list: existing shelf can be converted into a list
Complete redesign of the profile section, opt-in (use_v2_profile on your settings page):
- New profile, stats, activity, about, playthroughs, ratings, and reviews sub-pages
- Customizable favorite games title for Gold subscribers thanks to @killerstar (e.g. “My Top Games”)
- Top genres and top developers on your stats page
Review Drafts & New Review Page
- Reviews now have a draft field
- Auto-save drafts
Events Pages
- IGDB keeps track of events and what games were mentioned at events. Events are things like Pokemon Presents, Sony State of Plays, Summer Game Fest, etc.
Minor overhaul of the new shelf pages:
- LaunchBox-Style Shelf Browser
- Icon-based shelf nav in the left sidebar (different icons per shelf type, custom icon field on Shelf model)
- Tiled/Browse view. Clickable game grid. Clicking a game opens a detail dialog
- “Tell Me What To Play” button is finally live on the new shelf pages (that are like 5 years old now)
Top / Bottom Games Lists
- Tweaked the design of top / bottom games pages
Themes
- I’m downloading themes from IGDB now (fantasy, comedy, erotic, etc)
- Theme filtering on game list pages
- Erotic games exclusion added to search
Grouvee Gold Tiers
- Multiple subscription tiers/levels added
- Supporters page
- Upgrade path between tiers
Move Data
- “Move Data” button on game pages allowing users to move data between game entries
Activity Feed: Grouped Reviews
- When a user has 3+ reviews in a single feed batch, they’re collapsed into a single grouped activity item rather than spamming the feed
Steam Import Improvements
- New SteamImportedGame model tracking which games came from Steam imports
- Speed improvements for large imports
- Updated imported games page (you can see when a game was imported forever now).
Tweaks & Smaller Changes
- CSV export updated
- Help page updated
- TOS / Privacy Policy updated
- Various mobile layout fixes across profile, home, and list detail pages
